DASF-37 — Set up inference tables for monitoring and debugging models

Intent and implementation

Databricks inference tables automatically record incoming requests and outgoing responses to model serving endpoints, storing them as a Unity Catalog Delta table. This table can be used to monitor, debug and enhance ML models. By coupling inference tables with Lakehouse Monitoring, customers can also set up automated monitoring jobs and alerts on inference tables, such as monitoring text quality or toxicity from endpoints serving LLMs, etc. Critical applications of an inference table include:

• Retraining dataset creation: Building datasets for the next iteration of your models
• Quality monitoring: Keeping track of production data and model performance
• Diagnostics and debugging: Investigating and resolving issues with suspicious inferences
• Mislabeled data identification: Compiling data that needs relabeling

Verification

Project adaptation: get_control returns a concrete evidence request, a proposed test, and an acceptance condition. A control description or product feature is not evidence of deployment or effectiveness.
